[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 427534, member: 1514"] I dont understand where you are coming from insanecdn. We are not talking about taking away accommodations or anything like that. Yes, people who have disabilities need help but help is not an excuse or as what I have lovingly called it, the bipolar card. That get out of jail free card. They certainly never sent me one when I got my diagnosis. I also need a wheelchair most of the time so its not like I dont understand the concerns of the physically disabled either. Accommodations are fine and dandy and I am all for all of those that we can get in this life. I think we need as many of them as possible. We need better instruction in schools to help kids learn not to bully other kids. We need to have more teachers so they can always keep an eye out for situations like this. We need better Special Education departments and programs. What we dont need is to give kids excuses for their behaviors. Like Slsh said, we need to teach them that life will deal them consequences when they act out in the real world. That matters not if they are blind, physically disabled or mentally disabled. [/QUOTE]
